The stormy calm continues. The sky in Sijiu City was suddenly clear and cloudy, as if an unprecedented war was brewing.
People were waiting to see what happened, and it seemed that except for Linghu Zhu’s big entertainment project, which was making great progress, everyone had retreated to the outside world.
Including Xiao Zheng.
After listing, there will be ample funds, but spending money is sometimes more difficult than making money. Making money is not too difficult as long as you work hard and work hard. But spending money requires constant thinking. This is a relatively unfamiliar area for Xiao Zheng. He was walking on thin ice.
ENN has a large number of talents, and there are professionals in various fields. Xiao Zheng is mainly responsible for scheduling and general direction. There is also the responsibility of spending money.
In the process, Xiao Zheng also encountered some painful choices. For example, several major core projects are grabbing money, and I hope Xiao Zheng will approve more funds. To whom you can give more and to whom you should give less. That's the conundrum.
To this end, Xiao Zheng met individually with the leaders of each core department. Know it with emotion, move it with reason. In the end, it took a lot of money to silence these big brothers and sisters.
"It's hard to be a leader. It's even harder to be the person in charge of money." Xiao Zheng was standing in front of the window, smoking a cigarette, waiting for Xiao Taohong to make tea.
"Boss, please stop complaining. The only difficulty for you is to choose, but it is difficult for the department leaders below to open up new territories." Xiao Taohong worked as a deputy in the core department for a while, and also deeply understood how difficult the work at the grassroots level is. .
"Hear what you mean, are you planning to defect?" Xiao Zheng turned around and glared at Xiao Taohong, then took the tea. "It's only been a few days and your elbow has turned outward?"
Xiao Taohong rolled her eyes and said: "Boss, please don't slander me. I will always be with you no matter where and when I do. However, I sympathize with my current direct boss as he pulls his hair out to think of plans every day." .”
Xiao Zheng said angrily: "Seeing that I hold on to money every day and don't know who to give it to, don't you sympathize with me?"
Xiao Taohong chuckled and said, "Boss, you are getting cuter and cuter."
"It's pity that no one loves him, right?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and ended this useless conversation with his old subordinate.
There were several important guests to meet in the afternoon, but Xiao Zheng turned them down because of a sudden call.
The call was from His Majesty Ling Lai. It almost means that the situation there is more tense. People from Shang Jingtian have conducted several trials in succession. However, due to the sensitivity of the place where Shang Yao lives, he has been holding back.
"But I estimate that Shang Jingtian will take action sooner or later. And he will kill Shang Yao cleanly and leave quietly." His Majesty Ling Lai's long voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is it already very urgent?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"You can think so." His Majesty Ling Lai said softly. "I've been staying in the palace recently and can't go anywhere. Shang Jingtian will be a little wary of me when I'm here. But I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress him for too long."
Xiao Zheng's heart sank: "What signal has Shang Jingtian sent?"
"If I'm not wrong, yes." His Majesty Ling Lai nodded slightly and pursed his lips. "The night before yesterday, a mysterious man in black appeared in the palace. My personal bodyguards noticed him, but it was only fleeting. He disappeared before there was any time to react."
"I think this should be a warning given to me by Shang Jingtian." His Majesty Ling Lai said with a bitter smile. "He hopes that I won't mind my own business, because with his strength, I can't stop him at all."
After hearing this, Xiao Zheng became more and more horrified.
This is in line with Shang Jingtian’s approach. He is not adventurous or radical, but he will definitely do what needs to be done.
Just like that night on New Year's Eve. In the beginning, Shang Jingtian was very low-key, even silent. But once he takes action - he doesn't even care about his daughter's life, he wants to kill at least one of Xiao Zheng or Qiu Shuo.
This person's thoughts are extremely vicious. He was also very decisive in taking action.
This time, since he gave His Majesty Ling Lai a warning. Then I believe it's not far away from him taking action.
"How is Shang Yao's recovery from his injury?" Xiao Zheng asked, pursing his lips.
"Not bad. I can already get out of bed and walk. But my body is still a little weak and it should take some time to recover." His Majesty Ling Lai reported truthfully.
"Then please leave it to Your Majesty for the next few days." Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice. "I'll come over as soon as I finish what I'm doing."
"Take her back to the country?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked.
"I wish I could take her back." Xiao Zheng rubbed his brows. "I hope Shang Jingtian will give me such an opportunity."
His Majesty Ling Lai raised an eyebrow: "Boss Xiao, I will try my best to ensure her safety. But the premise is that Shang Jingtian does not kill her. Otherwise, I may choose to give up. Please don't blame me."
"I understand." Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly. "From any point of view, your life is far more valuable than Shang Yao."
Yu Gong, His Majesty Ling Lai is the emperor, a symbol, a sign. Personally, although Shang Yao has paid a lot for Xiao Zheng, from the perspective of value, the international help His Majesty Ling Lai can provide to Xiao Zheng will be greater.
After all, senior Chinese officials are very concerned about their relationship with the Tokyo authorities. But His Majesty Ling Lai can play a great role in this matter.
Even from a certain perspective, the reason why Xiao Zheng has gained so much attention among China's top leaders is because of His Majesty Ling Lai's blessing.
The relationship between them has been tied together and it is difficult to tell them apart.
It sounds cruel to Shang Yao, but it is an established fact. Just like Lin Laoyao, he knows that the people he has to deal with are the people he cares about. But his identity and family background destined him to never retreat.
To retreat is to betray.
"I'm not considering this based on whether it's valuable or not. It's just that I don't have enough reasons to fight against Shang Jingtian." His Majesty Ling Lai said slowly. "Shang Yao is not worthy of me doing this."
His Majesty Ling Lai said it very bluntly, but he knew it was the truth.
What kind of person is His Majesty Ling Lai
In order to get to where she is today, she could even kill her biological mother. Is a mere Shang Yao worth risking her life for
"I understand. I will arrive as soon as possible." Xiao Zheng said slowly. "I just hope that your majesty can delay as much time as possible. At least, don't let me be regarded as an ungrateful person."
His Majesty Ling Lai was silent for a moment. Suddenly he asked: "Boss Xiao, I'm thinking about a question."
"What's the problem?" Xiao Zhengqi asked.
"If I have lost any value to Boss Xiao, would you have risked your life to save me last time?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked.
Xiao Zheng was stunned, and then said helplessly: "This is not the first time I have answered this question. And my answer will never change."
"I will save Your Majesty. No matter who wants to harm Your Majesty. I will not sit idly by and ignore it." Xiao Zheng said every word.
"Isn't Boss Xiao very tired?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked.
"Tired. Really tired." Xiao Zheng said bitterly. "But it's still my choice. It's also the only choice."
Morality
Xiao Zheng used this word to explain his behavior, perhaps in order to minimize his guilt.
ps: Sorry, there is only one chapter today. There is an annual writer's conference at the end of the month, and I have to hold a wedding banquet at my daughter-in-law's place on the 31st, so I am very busy. But I will still put code words first, at least I won’t perfunctory everyone. Please squirt~
